During his presidential campaign, then-Senator Obama was quite critical of the Bush administrations uses of signing statements telling the Boston Globe in 2007 that the problem with the Bush administration is that it has attached signing statements to legislation in an effort to change the meaning of the legislation, to avoid enforcing certain provisions of the legislation that the President does not like, and to raise implausible or dubious constitutional objections to the legislation.

Then-Sen. Obama said he would not use signing statements to nullify or undermine congressional instructions as enacted into law.

He negotiated for this to be in there and now he wants to ignore it, you hear that GOP, what you negotiate, Obama will simply ignore anyway when passed, you hear that loud and clear, now, right?

Obama is lawless. There is no other way to describe it. He thinks being POTUS means being able to do whatever you want. He couldn't care less about the constraints of the Constitution or the laws of the Congress.

The pubbies need to sue him mercilessly to prove to him that isn't true and try to reign him in.
